Tone of B&W Photo
2009-04-04 by garrett.tom30
I would appreciate someone explaining to me what determines the tone (warm, cool, etc.) of B&W photos. I am printing with my Epson 1280 with MIS EB6 ink set and printing on Ilford Gold Fiber Silk. I printed three different photos,all with the same settings and they had a deep brown tone which I like very much as it reminds me of the old Ilford Portriga Rapid. But then, I printed a 4th photo with the same setting, paper, printer and ink and the tone while warm was no where near the tone of the other three. I then printed another but changed the paper type from photo paper to glossy photo and the results were almost identical. Thanks. Tom
